Profile:
Dilhara Fernando, or Randi as he is commonly known, is a right arm fast
bowler, who bowls with a powerful slingy action. He tends to move the ball
into the batsmen and can generate real pace. On his day he is reckoned to be
the fastest bowler in Sri Lanka. Dilhara was born in Wattala on the 19 July
1979. He schooled at De Mazenod College, a Catholic school in Kandana. A
well-built young man, he first love was basketball before he developed into
a fast bowler and was picked for the Sri Lanka U19 team that toured India in
1997. He later played against the Australian Academy before sent to the
Dennis Lillie run MRF Fast Bowlers clinic at Chennai in 1998. Since then he
has played his club cricket for Sinhalese Sports Club. He was picked to play
against Zimbabwe A (April 2000) before making his Test debut at the
Sinhalese Sports Club against Pakistan (June 2000). He was dropped after a
modest performance, but returned for Sri Lanka's tour of South Africa, where
he started with a five-wicket haul in the first Test in Durban. Generally,
however, he proved wayward and often expensive until a dramatic improvement
in 2001 when he trained hard under the close supervision of fast bowling
coach Rumesh Ratnayake in the BCCSL Fast Bowlers Academy. A foot injury to
Nuwan Zoysa gave him an opportunity with the new ball in the Coca-Cola Cup
against India and New Zealand (July 2001) and he was a revelation. Greater
accuracy had been added to his natural pace and he caused problems for all
the batsmen. He then played in the Test series against India that followed
and played a key role in Sri Lanka 10 wicket victory in the Galle Test,
where he grabbed his second five-wicket haul in Test cricket in a dramatic
second new ball burst during the Indian first innings. Unfortunately he then
suffered a stress fracture in his lower back whilst playing in Sharjah last
October. His rehabilitation was slow and when he did return to play two
domestic matches in early March he experienced fresh soreness. He remains
uncertain for Sri Lanka's tour of England.(30.04.2002)
